This dataverse contains all the files required to replicate the analysis for the paper "Autocratic Revolving Doors: The Return of Authoritarian Elites to Democratic Cabinets" by Roman-Gabriel Olar published in Perspectives on Politics. The analysis presented in the paper and the online appendix was run in Stata 16 and RStudio.

	"Figure A4.dta" - data file required to replicate Figure A4 of the online appendix.
	"Figure A5.dta" - data file required to replicate Figure A5 of the online appendix.
	"Figure A6.dta" - data file required to replicate Figure A6 of the online appendix.
	"Data_Table_A19.dta" - data file required to replicate the TSCS results in Table A19 of the online appendix.
	"Data_Table_A19_CS.dta" - data file required to replicate the CS results in Table A19 of the online appendix.

Do-file:
	"MainReplication_ARD_Pop.do" - do file required to replicate all the analysis.

R Scripts:
	"Figures 2 and 3.R" - R script required to replicate Figures 2 and 3 from the main text.
	"Figures A3_A6.R" - R script required to replicate Figures A3 to A6 of the online appendix.
	"Table A6.R" - R script to replicate table A6 of the online appendix.
	"Tables A23_A24.R" - R script to replicate tables A23 and A24 of the online appendix.

Stata Log File:

Note: 
The Paths to Power data by Nyrup et al. 2024 (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4631225) required to replicate the matching analysis from Tables A7 and A8 is not publicly available yet. The data can be obtained directly from the authors of dataset (email: jacob.nyrup@stv.uio.no). Please note that the do file contains all the required code and information on how to replicate the analysis using the original P2P data file.
